CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS FROM THE BOOK DEPARTMENT

Like the "Lincoln," it is a book possessing tremendous individuality; one of those books one can never forget; and this property arises out of the sense one gets of exalted character alike in the subject and the writer, of great precision of thought and beauty of expression. I laid it down with deep regret that I had come to the end, regret that Roosevelt, who so much admired Lord Charnwood's "Lincoln," might not read it.--Julian Street in Book Review. $2.50.
